Thanks anyway, Janie -- you (and anyone else interested) are still welcome to basil, castor or larkspur seeds. Pinetree seeds has several kinds of poppy listed; I may try them. I used to grow hot-pink mophead poppies but they faded out years ago. It'd be nice to have them back.

Those winds yesterday afternoon and evening blew all the warm out of here -- it was 17 degrees out this morning when Richard and I launched off on our morning mile walk. Lots of big branches down, and more than a few phone/cable lines, not that I was going to tempt fate by walking across them. My fault for talking about how mild the winter has been! But they say it'll be raining again by tomorrow afternoon.
